أَمَّا أَنَا فَأُصَلِّي اللَّيْلَ أَبَدًا
“As for me, I will pray at night forever.”
Ammā anā introduces a personal resolve; abadan intensifies it by meaning “always.” Uṣallī means “I pray.”
فَلَا أَتَزَوَّجُ أَبَدًا
“So I will never marry.”
Lā negates the verb, while abadan stresses the permanent nature of the intention. This insistence on an extreme, lifelong rule is central to why the Prophet ﷺ corrected them.
